Drake's computer won't let me use spellcheck. Grrr. I hate typos.
I am feeling more and more nostalgic as the semester goes on, as proven tonight. Britt and Teetz and I went bowling on East Campus like we used and I have not had this much fun in a long time. We ended up playing three games so we each had the chance to win, and of course we each did win again. Teetz fell down once, but I missed it, shoot. Then we each tried bowling with our opposite hand just because we're fun like that. Britt wasn't having much luck, and knowing she writes left-handed I told her to bwl with her right. She just kind of looked at me and said, "I do bowl with my right". Wow, in all our years of friendship, I have never noticed she bowls right-handed. I think because righties are so much more commong than lefties, I took it for granted watching her bowl because that's what I was used to seeing from everyone else. Weird.
After we left East Campus, Britt jokingly said, "Let's go hit up a Pike Party" and we decided we needed a trip down Memory Lane to look back on all the awesome parties from our Sophomore year. We showed Teetz all the best places we partied, and talked about the time some of the Pikes had a Beer Die tourney, set up much in the fashion of the March Madness tourney. Rounds 1 and 2 were at Blue Heaven, then because everyone was still sober enough to drive, we all headed over to 33rd and Orchard for the "Sweet 16" and "Elite 8". By the time these rounds were done though, driving was out of the question so slowly but surely, everyone would make their way to the "Final 4" and championship game at Rugby House. I miss those days, though I definitely do not miss all of those guys. I have a lot of good memories from this time, though there are a few bad ones as well, and through thick and thin, Britt has been through it all with me, and I don't know what I would do without her. Who else would wait for me when I sat down in the middle of the road walking from 33rd and Orchard all the way back to Kauffman our sophomore year on Good Friday? I don't remember doing this, but apparently it happened. We were both a tad intoxicated, but were supposed leave for Grand Island the next morning at like 10 so we could be with her family Easter Weekend. I don't think either of us even rolled out of bed until 1 pm. I just remember her caling me around that time, asking if I was ready, though she wasn't either. Her mom had called a couple times looking for us, but it was probably almost four by the time we got there. Ah, memories.
Teetz's date went good, but he says I can't meet her yet because I intimidate him, so I will most definitely intimidate her. Good, girls need to be intimidated so I can see if they are actually good enough for him. But this one might be, we shall have to see.

I'm so sad that my undergraduate career is coming to an end. I've really made some of the best friends in the world, and I'm going to be so sad to be apart from them.
I have thusfar avoided thinking about that reality, but I know it's coming for me, too. This class everyday thing is really starting to make me feel burnt out, but I'm not ready for it to be over yet.
I know exactly how you feel Amanda, I have friends that I wouldn't trade for anything, except maybe season tickets to Duke basketball games...just kidding guys :) I am sad that it is ending, and I know I make jokes about going to the same grad school as Teetz, I think that it is really going to be difficult for me, not gonna lie. Everyone is going to be all over the place, and who knows where I will even end up, because who knows where Drake will end up, or if we will even be in the same place the next two years. Thank God for free nights and weekends, that way at least we will all be able to talk a lot even if we won't be able to see each other.
Sigh! I love all of our memories.
Some day, we will be able to look back at the crazy stuff we did last night and say, "Gosh! We were so awesome at the Bend and Snap." Except I couldn't really say that, since just you and Teetz did it.
Love, Britt
Ha ha ha. True. Thank goodness some of our best memories were captured on film though, otherwise we'd have no recolletion at all, I fear. *WINK*
